Sikkens: the right color

A paint film, no matter how good the paint and applicators quality, applied over a poor substrate can never make up for a poor substrate quality.

Consequently before applying the paint film, it shall be established that the substrate is of sound condition and the proper preparation shall take place before applying the first coat.
